I read Hound of the Baskervilles when I was much younger, so this was my first adult encounter with Sherlock Holmes. I enjoyed this story immensely. The second part threw me for a loop until I realized Doyle’s timeline choices. A great mystery novel all in all.

I enjoyed the mystery, I have seen the BBC Sherlock version so many times but obviously the original was pretty different. I found the second half of the novel telling the back story of the Mormons in America to be a little disjointed - I really didn't care that much to go into such detail. I'm continuing on with Sherlock's adventures though!

The story is good, the characters are, clearly, the best, and it's a great reading (by Stephen Fry) of this classic mystery.

for an introduction to Sherlock Holmes, a very solid story! part 2 floundered a bit with extended narration but overall a very good story.
